Compares the underlying iterators of lhs and rhs.

1) This overload participates in overload resolution only if lhs.base() == rhs.base() is well-formed and convertible to bool. 3-6) These overloads participate in overload resolution only if lhs.base() < rhs.base() is well-formed and convertible to bool. The `!=` operator is synthesized from `operator==`. | (since C++20)

### Parameters

lhs, rhs | - | iterator adaptors to compare

### Return value

1) lhs.base() == rhs.base()
2) !(lhs == rhs)
3) lhs.base() < rhs.base()
4) !(rhs < lhs)
5) rhs < lhs
6) !(lhs < rhs)
7) lhs.base() <=> rhs.base()

### Example

Run this code

    #include <cassert>
    #include <iterator>

    int main()
    {
        int a[]{9, 8, 7, 6};
        //            │  └───── x, y
        //            └──────── z

        // “x” and “y” are equal, but “x” is greater than “z”
        std::move_iterator<int*>
            x{std::end(a) - 1},
            y{std::end(a) - 1},
            z{std::end(a) - 2};

        // two-way comparisons
        assert(  x == y );
        assert(!(x != y));
        assert(!(x <  y));
        assert(  x <= y );
        assert(!(x == z));
        assert(  x != z );
        assert(!(x <  z));
        assert(!(x <= z));

        // three-way comparisons
        assert(  x <=> y == 0 );
        assert(!(x <=> y <  0));
        assert(!(x <=> y >  0));
        assert(!(x <=> z == 0));
        assert(!(x <=> z <  0));
        assert(  x <=> z >  0 );
    }
